摘要
We derive the chemical composition of the neutral gas in the blue compact dwarf (BCD) Pox 36 observed with FUSE. Metals (N, O, Ar, and Fe) are iniderabundant as compared to the ionized gas associated with H II regions by a factor similar to 7. The neutral gas, although it is not, pristine, is thus probably less chemically evolved than the ionized gas. This could be due to different dispersal and mixing timescales. Results are compared to those of other BCDs observed with FUSE. The metallicity of the neutral gas in BCDs seems to reach a lower threshold of similar to 1/50 Z(circle dot) for extremely-metal poor galaxies.
